ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa doesnt work for wine 1.5.x

[advocatus diaboli]

i'm running linuxmint 9 (isadora) and wine 1.4.

i'm unable to upgrade to wine v1.5 using the ubuntu launchpad:
ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

and command:
apt://wine1.5

generates msg "could not find package 'wine1.5'"

is there a work-around that would let me upgrade to wine v1.5?

Build it yourself.

[advocatus diaboli]

ok, so I built it myself; 2GB of source code and other development packages, i'm running wine 1.5.8.
the 1.5 version solved a number of problems but created 2 other problems which i dont know if they are bugs i should report or problems i created when installing the 1.5.8 build:

1) PNG support (debug output):
err:wincodecs:PngEncoder_CreateInstance Trying to save PNG picture, but PNG support is not compiled in.
err:menubuilder:convert_to_native_icon error 0x80004005 creating bitmap encoder

2) Gecko (debug output):
err:mshtml:HTMLDocument_Create Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE

re gecko, i have 1.0.0-0ubuntu4 installed. it came standard with the ppa package off the ubuntu site. i understand that there were other updates to gecko within the wine1.5 version;
but i didnt find a manpg that would tell me how to download and install the latest version.

what do you suggest i do before i log it as a bug??
-thanks

err:wincodecs:PngEncoder_CreateInstance Trying to save PNG picture, but PNG support is not compiled in.

You need to rebuild Wine with PNG support. If there were other warnings from ./configure you need to install them, too, unless it is something you are sure you don't need (e.g., OpenCL and OSSv4).

but i didnt find a manpg that would tell me how to download and install the latest version.

You will also need to install wine-mono. http://wiki.winehq.org/Mono

what do you suggest i do before i log it as a bug??

Neither of those issues are bugs.

[advocatus diaboli]

thank you for your help.
i rebuilt the package with png support.
the 1.5.8 installed the mono modules automatically.

once that was done. i ran into a stack overflow when I ran PegasusMail:

err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 848 bytes in thread 0009 eip 7bc3f4b8 esp 00230fe0 stack 0x230000-0x231000-0x330000

that leaves me w/o email.

the problem appears to be in some Ole Controls.
What native DLL do I use to get around all the 'fixme' problems that cause, as it appears, pegasus mail crash?

here is the debug output:

Try winetricks ie7.

[advocatus diaboli]

i did try winetricks ie7 - that kicked pegasus into an infinite loop and on exit, it crashed wine. i filed it as bug31151.
